IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)
On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!
Do you love transgenders?
Do you love communism?
Do you love queer romance?
Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?
Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?
Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?
All of the answers should be: YES I DO or else I WILL BAN YOU
Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY
The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists 
, Zionists 
(they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The ‘Anarchists’ (social chauvanists) 
in Bosporus, and the monarchs 
of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.
On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union 
is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain 
)that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human 
, Shimmi 
(Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran 
(a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.
First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist 
leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home 
, but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. 
As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack…
And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.
Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands
All are Communists 
All serve the Union 
All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism 
but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt
Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?
Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

Long ass “dump the stuff that’s weighing on my brain out into writing” post
mental health stuff, alcohol cessation, social withdrawal/APD? Not sure what to tag for that last one
.
Have been really anxious and having a lot of trouble with sleep lately and irritability lately and feeling burned out and having a short fuse, but I’ve been trying to practice shit I’ve learned from therapy before and separate impulsive thoughts and negative automatic thinking patterns from my sense of self (like, not “ugh I’m such an irritable miserable bitch” but “I have a lot of difficult shit to deal with and it’s understandable that someone in my position would be frustrated and have a short fuse sometimes and that isn’t some inherent flaw in my character,” etc)
Trying to be appreciative of little things that go well or I enjoy or make me notice improvement in myself
-Have stayed dry for more than a month for the first time this year. Feel like I’ve turned a corner mentally where I just associate alcohol with how awful I felt after my last binge and feel repulsed by booze now because of that association instead of still craving it sometimes after previous attempts staying sober after getting through withdrawals. Was offered some red wine at a dinner and turned it down. I probably would have drank it in the past rationalizing it as “just one glass in a social setting” and “not a big deal,” then basically doing the Barney Gumble “it begins” thing and relapsing afterwards with vodka, and I didn’t and wasn’t really even tempted, so go me.
-Have been better about skincare. Found a moisturizer that agrees with my sensitive gay baby skin and am pretty happy about that. Instead of stinging my face, it doesn’t bother me going on, then like gradually turns into the skin equivalent feeling of the nice glow feeling your mouth gets from a pleasantly spicy food? If that makes sense?
-Got some nice music recs I’m looking forward to checking out and have revisited some albums I really like that I haven’t listened to in years and had a good time remembering
-Have been thinking about how to spend the money I’ve saved quitting drinking and am considering getting a mid gaming PC (the newest vidya I’ve played is X360 stuff lol) and/or music gear (either a lunchbox low watt tube guitar amp or a modeling rig) that’s kind of exciting to me
-Mentally am trying to work through some of my hermit tendencies and whether I have avoidant personality disorder and how to work through that. Learned that a once very close friend that I fell out of touch with during covid that I learned is going through some really rough shit and is depressed and I’m struggling with how to approach reaching out to. The longer I’ve been out of contact with someone, the harder it is for me to think of how to try reconnecting and I feel extremely guilty and sad for how we lost contact. I still deeply care for this friend and felt like they were like the sibling I never had, we just intuitively understood each other in a way I’ve never had with anyone and were the first friend I made after coming out who only ever knew me as me not (dead name.) I want to rekindle our friendship but I feel so guilty for drifting away from them in the first place that thinking about how to make contact again after years feels so overwhelming and I feel like however that goes I’d probably have an ugly crying type meltdown.
Thanks for reading my bullshit if you made it this far lol, sorry for the wall of text and diarypost
(I completely forgot that chuds online use glow with a y at the end as a slur lmao sorry, I reread this and was very confused why something got hit by the filter and couldn’t remember what I had written)
